Tag Archive | Pineapple Tart ( closed style )

Bought 4 kilos pineapple paste but still have a substantial amount of it from the previous pineapple tart baking. I should not expect much vistation as CNY celebration is coming to an end. Having that in mind, I decided to try out a new recipe afterall it’s for own consumption, so it didn’t really matter if it didn’t turn out well. However, they were surprisingly tasty. A little crispy and completely melt-in-your mouth. The amount of milk powder used is just nice to enhance the flavour. I couldn’t resist baking anther batch even after cleaning up the kitchen.
